NYC Events celebrating Hip-hop 50

Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious (Fotografiska New York)

Fotografiska is an interactive photography museum in Gramercy that houses NY’s most lively images any given week. From now until May 20, 2023, they’re hosting “Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious,” a collaboration between the museum and Mass Appeal that they’re billing as the “definitive destination to celebrate hip-hop’s global impact on visual expression.” That’s a tall task that we expect them to reach with the best photographers of contemporary music portraying the art form’s greatest figures.

From Coogi sweaters, gold links, and 8-Ball jackets to polo knits, athletic wear and sneakers, hip-hop has defined the fashion of youth generations for 50 years. The Museum at FIT steps in to curate an essential series of looks and colors for the record. Whether you want to channel your inner Dapper Dan or pay homage to that bucket hat you never take off, this will transport you through time with garments and textures from every era.
